The book of Nehemiah shows us how the Lord can impact a nation through the prayers, perseverance and spiritual grit of one leader whose heart is aligned with God’s.

Nehemiah was a man of prayer, vision, perseverance, strategy, and courage. Let's take a look at what the Lord wants us to glean from the leadership of Nehemiah in this plan by Evangelist April Snell.
